TS4124 retrieve music from itunes match

My Lacie 1TB hard drive has stopped working so I have had it replaced at the local Apple shop.  I have a MacBook Air 2011 64GB.  So all my media was stored on the hard drive.  I used a USB superdrive I had purchased to rip all my music from my CD collection and put in itunes.  I then purchased itunes match and sold all my CD's.  Could i delete my itunes library given i have no access to these tracks anymore and download my songs from itunes match onto the new Lacie hard drive?

"I used a USB superdrive I had purchased to rip all my music from my CD collection and put in itunes.  I then purchased itunes match and sold all my CD's."
For the music you ripped from CD, once you've sold the disc you no longer have rights to posess a digital copy. Keeping a digital copy after selling your physical copy is called piracy. You cannot legitimize pirated works, even with iTunes match, but you can purchase the tracks from the iTunes store or any other digital music vendor, or re-purchase the discs to maintain your rights to the music.
The other media, purchased from the iTunes store or other digital merchants, is still legitimate. Recovering your matched or uploaded tracks is as easy as downloading them in iTunes.

  • HT204406 My HDD crashed which held all of my music.  Can I recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to a new HDD?

    My HDD crashed and it contained all of the music from which iTunes and iMatch pulled files from.  Is there a way to recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to my new HDD?

    My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files.  I have not had to reinstall iTunes software.  The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music.  I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
    I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
    The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
    Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

    How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

    Hi,
    If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

  • Apple TV 3 not playing music from iTunes Match.

    Hi Peeps,
    I am unable to access music on iTunes Match on ATV 3.  However Match works fine on my Windows based PC and my iPhone 5.
    I can see all albums and artwork on ATV 3 but when I select to play I get "An error occurred loading this content". Netflix and other app previews etc work fine.
    The software is up to date and I have tried restoring and re-booting with no success.
    Can anyone help???

    Hi Winston,
    Thanks for getting back to me my problem is playinhg music from ATV3
    I have tried restarting the router but no change.
    However the ATV3 has the artist, cover artwork etc. but does not seem to be able to play (stream) and I still get the error message.
    My iphone and PC currently play music from Match on the same network as the ATV3. I am even able to airplay music from laptop to ATV3 but not directly from ATV3.
    So thanks for your help but this has not fixed the problem. I have never had these problems before.

  • How to download music from iTunes match to iPad 2

    I'm going off the grid (temporarily) and traveling to an area without cell phone or wifi.  I would love to listen to music on my 32 gb iPad 2 (IOS 8) on those long nights.  My music is loaded on iTunes Match.  Can it be downloaded to the iPad so I can listen directly from the device?  Even better, can I select the albums I'd like to download without downloading everything?  Any tips would be appreciated!

    Yes, but you must turn off iTunes Match on your device and sync the music from iTunes on your computer.

  • Post Restore, how to recover all music from iTunes Match?

    Hello,
    I recently restored my iPhone 4S, and the back up went smooth. I restored the phone from a back up on iTunes instead of from iCloud (since it would be faster), and now I'm stuck - for my music, it won't restore it from my iTunes back up or iTunes Match. The music is visible with the cloud icons next to all my songs and albums.
    I know that iTunes Match handles the music, and thus I can't control anything from the tab on my iPhone in iTunes, but is there any way to push all the music I have with iTunes Match back to my device?
    Or do I have to tell my phone to download every album?
    I feel like I'm missing some setting here, or some "Download All" option but I can't find anything.
    Thanks!

    So... I figured I should try to turn off iTunes Match in iTunes, and on my phone. Tried that, synced again, and I can push my music from iTunes to my phone the old fashioned way.
    Phew. I'll reenable Match after this is all sorted out!
    Hope this helps someone else out in the future.

  • How do I exclude Christmas Music from iTunes Match?

    I have read a dozen different questions about Christmas music, but none of them seem to answer my question. Here's my situation:
    I have iTunes Match. I love iTunes Match. I enjoy being able to hit Shuffle and have my thousand-plus songs play randomly. I do not want to change any setting on my phone that switches off iTunes Match or requires me to store the music I want to listen to locally.
    HOWEVER, I have a lot of Christmas music in my library. It's been matched into iTunes Match. So it's there, and when I want to Shuffle all my music I routinely get Christmas tunes. This also happens with annoying frequency when I do Genius mixes.
    I listen to a lot of music on my iPhone -- when I commute, when I work out, when I'm around the house. Not on my computer, where apparently there are genre exclusion tricks for playlists, but on my iPhone, from Match in the iCloud.
    Given this scenario ... is there a way to somehow keep my Christmas music stored in iCloud, so that I can listen to it in season, but not have it haunt my playlists and Shuffles all year round?

    Thanks for the feedback. This solution works for focused lists of music, but I like the variety of just shuffling randomly though. Unless I create a playlist with every single song in my library on it BUT Christmas music, playlists don't solve my problem; and even then, Genius lists still grab Christmas music.

  • HT4914 Import music from ITunes Match

    Several months ago I had to reformat my hard drive on my PC.
    I lost some music which is still on my iPod touch.
    I haven't been able to sync my iPod without losing music.
    Can I use iTunes match to upload music from my iPod and get it back onto my PC?
    Is there any other way to get the music from the iPod back onto my PC?
    Also have music on an iPad which is on PC but not on iPod touch.
    Will iTunes Match allow me to have access to all music on all devices?

    In iTunes, control click on the clip you want to use and select Show in Finder.
    You want to open the file with Quicktime Pro 7, which is probably still in your computer. In the Finder go to the menu Go > Utilities and look for QuickTime Player 7.app.
    Launch it and open your iTunes file.
    In Quicktime Pro, export the file and AIF 48kzh, and once complete, import that file into FCE.

    I'm having trouble deleting Music from the iTunes Match, I have followed this guide iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support with no luck.
    I'm using iTunes version 12.0.1.26.
    After I delete all my music, all the music is still visible on my iPhone... I've tried to click the update iTunes Match option and all the music appears in my library in iTunes again.
    I have tried:
    Signing out and in again.
    Turning iTunes Match off and on again.
    Deleting the iTunes library folder and adding a new one.
    Clearing the cache.
    De-authorising all devices and re-authorising them.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    I mean mark as deleted... It seems to have sorted it's self out now.

  • Is there a way to only show some music from itunes match?  my wife doesnt want to see every song we have, only the ones she likes

    Is there a way to hide songs/albumbs in itunes match only on certain devices?  
    for example, I have a huge collection of songs, and my wife only wants to see 'her stuff' on her iphone.
    or am i going to have to create another account just for her, and either rebuy or manualy store the songs on her phone?

    Hi
    You can only use one Apple id for your iTunes match.
    At present there is no way to hide selected songs.
    Whilst all the music will show on you wife's iphone, she could create playlist(s) on your computer to include only her songs.

  • Hard drive crashed cannot download music from iTunes Match

    Hello,
    I had a fairly extensive music collection and recently i had to get a new hard drive. I didn't think it would be a big deal because i had always updated itunes Match. But iTunes match isn't showing me my library to download my music again.
    Did i completely misunderstand iTunes Match? Do i have to start over?
    All the music properly downloads on my iphone but not my mac.
    Thanks!

    I figured it out - i just had to create a new library inside of itunes.
    Yay.

  • My Music from iTunes Match will not sync on Apple TV

    I cannot seem to get my iTune Match to sync to my Apple TV.
    Selected MyMusic and get the message that it will take a few minutes depending on library size and internet speed.
    Library size is big and speed is quick yet I have left this buffering for a whole day on a number of occasions and it is still buffering hours later.
    ANy any help would be most appreciated.

    I had the same problem. I "Reset" (not just restarted) my Apple TV and when I reconnected to iTunes Match it successfully connected and I'm able to play songs through iTunes Match. Not sure if it matters but I'm using a wired connection.
